The media has covered many stories regarding alleged abuse within the the Church of Scientology, including charges of human trafficking, unlawful imprisonment, forced abortions, slave labor and harassment of critics. There has been action taken in other countries regarding these alleged abuses. Most notable are actions in France, where the organization was convicted of organized fraud and practicing medicine without a license, and in Australia, where there have been investigations into their harsh treatment of workers.

Yet authorities in the US have seemed slow to act. While there have been reports from media sources and ex-Scientologists that an FBI investigation has been underway, there has, as of now, been no filing of any charges, despite allegedly 300 recent complaints filed with the FBI.
